I simply adore your Aunt and Uncle. They are two of the most joyful people I've ever seen. Their smiles could light the world!

[@snoopybluejeans]

I agree. They can adopt me any day. It's no wonder that Amaury turned out the way he did. That's what good parenting looks like and the end results.

[@smallmoments957]

Your aunt and uncle have such beautiful souls! We should all be so lucky to have such beautiful people in our lives.

[@MoNaBookworm]

I love that Phillips had to get the ice cream spoons. That’s why he’s him.😂❤

[@tigermoon44]

Marie puts other chefs to shame!! Total Goddess in the kitchen! And I must say, Stephanie looked vavavoom in her little black dress!

Galahad in his raincoat 🤣 As always, Philip’s stunning dining table setup - such unique, amazing combinations and Marie’s incredible, unique dinner menus as well. Loved the ending with Philip running around the table with the perfect ice cream spoons - can’t miss using everything you have!! 😊 Could two people be more perfectly matched for each other? Love from Mary in Southern California 💗

[@nancycowan6109]

I ‘m pausing to say that Marie is bringing me such joy! I’m not sure how long she went to culinary school (not that long, if I remember). But she just continues to amaze me with her skills. And truly, the old photo of your family was really heartwarming. ❤️

[@carolinegooder7091]

Marie also learned from Maria for a year and Stuart, who was in cooking school. Marie did the plainer country cooking at Lalande before Maria arrived. ❤

I am French and in my family, we all had a cutlery silver set for special occasions (diner parties, xmas, etc) and i always loved it when we used the flat ice cream spoons ❤❤

Your videos are always so joyful. Many times I save them for a later watch in the day, when I need a lift. Thank you Stephanie and all the Laladers, including Auntie and Uncle for putting up so many happy videos.

Thank you for sharing your dinner guest with us 🎉👍💕

[@sallysampson628]

There are many things I love about LaLande world! Galahad is just a sweetheart in his on point outfits and his character. Your Aunt and Uncle and all your family. Marie is just wonderful with her fantastic meal ideas and cooking, beer flower arrangement and her beautiful personality. I love the playful, loving yet light hearted meeting of hearts between you Stephanie & Philip and all your adventures within and away from the chateau! I look forward to watching every night and days where you’re having a break from KZbin, quite rightly so, oh how I miss it! I’m looking forward to seeing what you’ll be doing for Christmas this year. Of courses the chapel has been an ongoing delight! Thanks guys 🥂🍾🍓🌻🥰🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️😃

I remember having ice cream in Austria and the spoons were square, like a little shovel i have been looking for something like that for years. So yes I'm glad Philip decided to use special ice cream spoons

[@elsao1690]

I love your top. Would you mind sharing? I enjoy your hudband and your conversations while shopping.

[@joyeddlemon798]

FYI, if you ware sunglasses while driving in heavy rain like that you can see much better. It cuts the glare.

[@barbdalrymple2451]

Wow! Everything looks yummy! Marie is a wonderful cook!

[@mariaelenaloveslove]

You in that dress... i can c why it is a favorite! Another perfect video as always! Thank you! The German pure steel mandolin is the safest 1... u must use the steel glove 1000% of the time. Without the glove its basically a gullitine. The steel glove feels cool and nice and u r very perfectly safe the steel glove does not have 2b the costly 1. I wish Marie could enjoy a very nice mezzaluna set that is ultimatly safest 4 finely cut herbs.

[@dolcevitausa6448]

With all the lovely meals Marie creates she needs to put together a cookbook. I will be first in line to purchase an autographed copy.

[@ludovica8221]

In the UK in the late 70s it was called a "Purdey cut" (created by John Frieda) after Joanna Lumley's character in the New Avengers (UK 1970s TV show not the recent movie franchise) Looks like the style happened both sides of the Atlantic at around the same time but Yusuke Suga took credit for the American version as worn by Dorothy Hamill

Ice creme emergency spoons. Love it!

[@sharongruener6078]

What a fun picture of your family. Pretty in your black dress for dinner. Blessings.

[@dianayavetz6286]

Phillip’s tables are so beautiful and he truly uses all of the wonderful things you have. Also, mandolins are frightening and so dangerous if you don’t use the guard. I don’t think Marie will agree🤷‍♀️

[@ChristineC-nk5fd]

Get Marie a pair of woven metal gloves. The do sell them. I cut off a tiny bit of one of my fingers using that thing while making a dinner for family and friends. After I returned from the hospital All were waiting for me to finish dinner as they were clueless as to how to do it. We did eat, a bit late as you can imagine 🤣

That building in Toulouse was absolutely exquisite! Oh, thank you so much for sharing it with us. WOW!! Please do go back and tour it and share it then if you are able. How interesting it will be to see the stained glass gallery and to learn what the curators have done there with the artist's fading stained glass faces.

[@alyssag9130]

They sell special gloves to wear when using a mandolin

[@mariaelenaloveslove]

Yes u r so correct! would b best if the steel glove came in the box with the mandoline. U do not need a costly steel glove u just have 2 b sure 2 use the glove every single time! Worst cut and difficult 2 heal some need stitches. Glove should come in the box really.

[@ginak921]

Galahad is looking so cute in his little raincoat .

What a treasure of a picture!!. I hope it will be displayed where everyone can see it😊 And the picture of you as a 3 year old is also so very cute🥰. I have a picture of me at the same age.

I am glad you decided not to go via the viaduct in such weather, I remember a terrifying journey in equally torrential conditions in Briton Ferry South Wales on the viaduct when we could hardly see the vehicle in front at all, while being buffeted by the wind and rain from all directions at once.
